  • Cinder Cone Volcanoes 
     
  • Composite volcanoes 
  • Shield Volcanoes 
  • Lava Domes 



2. Top 10 most active volcanoes in the volcanoes

3. What are the biggest 5 ever eruptions in the world?

  • Mount Tambora
  • Mount Krakatoa
  • Mount Pelee
  • Mount Ruiz
  • Mount Vesuvius
4. What supervolcanoes could erupt in the future?

The Yellowstone is most likely to erupt in the future. It is one of the biggest volcanoes in the world and it can kill up to  87,000 people.

5. What happens during the eruption?

When magma reaches the earth's surface it is called lava. It may pour out in gentle streams called lava which flows or erupts violently into the air. Rocks ripped loose from the inside of the volcanoes or are torn apart by the gas may be shot into the air with lava. These rocks are blown out of the volcanoes are called the pyroclastic.

6. Does the sun have an effect on volcanism?

In the climate model, both the reduced output from the sun and the increased amount of volcanic aerosols {fine particles which reflect sunlight away from the earth and which are ejected into the stratosphere by volcanic eruptions} contribute a sizeable amount to the northern hemisphere cooling seen in temperature reconstruction, their relative importance depends upon uncertain estimates of exactly how much each changed relative to century later.
